If you find out, please tell the ANSI C++ Committee where to find it. :-)

Seriously, the definition is still being worked on. Recent printings of
the ARM and Stroustrup's "C++ Programming Language", along with Stroustrup's
"Design and Evolution of C++" will give you a good idea of current
status, but some details may change.

The bulk of C++ has not changed significantly from the first ARM printing
in 1990 (modulo typo's), and lots of code written to that specification
will compile and run correctly today and tomorrow.

Apart from adding some features and defining standard class libraries, most
of the Committee work has been trying to make the language spec complete
and consistent.
